Here is a synapses out of their patent..it is NOT the complete patent but gives an overview:
19. A distribution method responsive to requests from a user identifying items in a transmission system containing information to be sent from the transmission system to receiving systems at remote locations, the method comprising the steps of:
storing, in the transmission system, information from items in a compressed data form, the information including an identification code and being placed into ordered data blocks;
sending a request, by the user to the transmission system, for at least a part of the stored information to be transmitted to the one of the receiving systems at one of the remote location selected by the user;
sending at least a portion of the stored information from the transmission system to the receiving system at the selected remote location;
receiving the sent information by the receiving system at the selected remote location;
storing a complete copy of the received information in the receiving system at the selected remote location; and
playing back the stored copy of the information using the receiving system at the selected remote location at a time requested by the user.
If you do a search in their patent the word INTERNET is not listed at all. This patent is very vague. Internet would be the "receiving system" in the patent.
Contribute and look for prior art ( before 1990 ) that covers the above issues!! We can do this!

Sorry was going on a post earlier in this thread by Brandon that said webserver which would mean connected to the internet, I am searching my ass off, I played with bbs a little back in 89-90 but did not have my own pc at that time while doing so, I am trying to hunt down an old buddy who did bbs in his sleep as far back as the early 80's, this dude stored everythign he could download anywhere he could store it, if I can locate him I am sure he would have enough on cd rom or something to fuck acacia's day up.
